We just got the Biometrics appointment letter today and we are scheduled for May 30 in Birmingham.

My question is: should we call and make an InfoPass appointment or something like that? Or we just go there. The reason I asked coz Birmingham is about 4 hours away from here.

Thank you guys! (F)

Maureen,

InfoPass is for making appointments to visit a District or Sub office.

I don't think one can make an appointment to visit an ASC using InfoPass, but you've already got the appointment you need for the ASC.

Maureen,

You are also in a really great place. You are a couple of hours out of Panama City, which has gorgeous beaches. There is also a place called " Blue Springs " that is near you. I think it is to the north around Headland somewhere. It is a beautiful spring water park. You are also close to Eufaula which has some great fishing. I haven't lived there in a while but when you go toward Ozark on 231 there used to be some great rope swings on the Choctawhatchee river crossing. You should also be getting some of the best fresh vegetables in the world right now. Look for the small stands where the farmers sell directly. There is also amusement parks in Panama City and a great one in Valdost Georgia called " Wild America ". Give Dothan a little time. It grows on you. It is a great place. When you go for your interview try to spend a couple of days in Atlanta. It is another great place. You have stone mountain, the olympic park, six flags, and about a million other things. You will come to love the south. The people are really great when you break through the culture and learn how to charm them!!!

Thank you for the tips Joe. I already am in love & smitten by the southern charm. Love the people, the food, the weather. Dothan is already home for me. Take care my friend! :D
